Chapter 0307
Hannah
I woke first to the glow of the sun hitting my face, and then to the warm sensation of an arm around me… and a hand cupping my breast.
“Mm…”
Smiling, I snuggled back into the familiar body that was pressed up against me. In my sleepy state, it felt natural, comforting. Happy even. A warmth spread through me, pooling low in my belly.
Instinctively, I ground back against him, hearing a soft, sleepy groan in response. The hand on my breast tightened, callused fingers brushing over my nipple and then pinching together ever so slightly. I let out a quiet gasp, arching my back into the solid body.
